1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 The global financial crisis that began in 2007 revealed that certain banks even with adequate capital levels experienced severe stress due to lack of prudent liquidity risk management practices and due to sudden evaporation of liquidity from the market resulting from withdrawals of credit lines by market participants. 1.2 The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) issued the Basel III rules on liquidity risk measurement, standards and monitoring on 16.12.2010. Two minimum standards, viz., the Liquidity Coverage Ratio and the Net Stable Funding Ratio, were prescribed by BCBS. In January 2013, the Basel Committee's oversight body, the Group of Central Bank Governors and Heads of Supervision (GHOS) endorsed the Basel III Liquidity Rule on LCR as the global minimum standard for liquidity risk. 1.3 LCR is expected to improve the banking sector’s ability to absorb shocks arising from financial and economic stress, thus, reducing the risk of spillover from the financial sector to the real economy. LCR is one of the Basel Committee's key reforms to strengthen global liquidity regulations with the goal of promoting a more resilient banking sector. 1.4 Basel III Liquidity Standards mainly focus on internationally active banks. However, regulators have adopted these standards for other banks too with a view to further strengthening liquidity risk management, be in line with international best practices and facilitating entity rating, Sovereign rating and international fund-raising activities.
2. THE REGULATORY FRAMEWORK 2.1 Objective of LCR: LCR intends to: a) promote short-term resilience of the liquidity risk profile of banks ensuring that banks have adequate stock of unencumbered high-quality liquid assets that canbe converted easily and immediately into cash in secondary market to meet their liquidity needs for a period of 30 calendar days under a liquidity stress scenario; and b) improve the ability of the banking sector to absorb shocks arising from financial and economic stress, whatever the source, thus reducing the risk of spillover from the financial sector to the real economy.

9 2.2 Scope of application LCR framework shall be applicable to banks on a standalone (“Solo”) basis including overseas operations through branches and for the banks incorporated in Sri Lanka, the scope will be extended to the consolidated (“Group”) level. 2.3 LCR computation The computation of LCR shall be based on the following formula. 2.4 Definition of High-Quality Liquid Assets (HQLA) 2.4.1. HQLA are assets that satisfy the following conditions: a) can be easily and immediately converted into cash at little or no loss of value, b) can be readily sold or used as collateral to obtain funds in a range of stress scenarios, and c) are unencumbered, i.e., without legal, regulatory or operational impediments. 2.4.2. Characteristics of HQLA In determining HQLA, banks shall consider the fundamental characteristics and market related characteristics of such assets. a) Fundamental characteristics i) Low credit and market risk: Assets that are less risky tend to have high liquidity. High credit standing of the issuer and a low degree of subordination increases an asset’s liquidity. Low duration, low volatility, low inflation risk and denomination in a convertible currency with low foreign exchange risk enhance an asset’s liquidity. ii) Ease and certainty of valuation: An asset’s liquidity increases if market participants are more likely to agree on its valuation. The pricing formula of a HQLA must be easy to calculate and should not depend on strong assumptions. The inputs into the pricing formula must also be publicly available. In practice, this should rule out the inclusion of most structuredor exotic products. LCR = Stock of high-quality liquid assets *100 Total net cash outflows over the next 30 calendar days

10 iii) Low correlation with risky assets: The stock of HQLA should not be subject to highly correlated risk. For example, assets issued by financial institutions are more likely to be illiquid in times of liquidity stress in the banking sector. iv) Listed on a developed and recognised exchange market: Being listed increases an asset’s transparency. b) Market related characteristics i) Active and sizable market: The asset should have an active outright sale or repurchase agreement (repo) market at all times, i.e., a large number of market participants and a high trading volume. There should be historical evidence of market breadth such as price impact per unit of liquidity and market depth such as units of the asset that can be traded for a given price impact. ii) Presence of committed market makers: Quotes should be available for buying and/or selling a high-quality liquid asset. iii) Low market concentration: A diverse group of buyers and sellers in an asset’s market increases the reliability of its liquidity. iv) Capital flight towards quality assets: Historically, the market shouldhave shown tendencies to move into these types of assets in a systemic crisis. 2.5 Categories of HQLA HQLA are categorised into two broad categories. Assets to be included in each category are those that the bank is holding on the first day of the stress period, irrespective of their residual maturity. a) Level 1 assets: Include cash in hand, qualifying Central Bank reserves and qualifying marketable securities that attract a 0% risk weight under the Basel III Capital Adequacy Framework. b) Level 2 assets: Include Level 2A assets and Level 2B assets up to a maximum of 40% of total HQLA. i) Level 2A assets: Include qualifying investments in gilt unit trusts, subject to a 15% haircut.

11 ii) Level 2B assets: Include qualifying non- financial common equity shares, subject to a 50% haircut. Level 2B assets are limited to a maximum of 15% of total HQLA. Assets to be included in each category with the applicable factors and limitations are indicated below. Item Factor Stock of HQLA A. Level 1 assets • Cash in hand 100% • Qualifying Central Bank balances and reserves in excess of the Statutory Reserves Ratio (SRR) • Qualifying marketable securities with a 0% risk weight B. Level 2 assets (maximum of 40% of HQLA) Level 2A assets • Qualifying marketable securities with a 20% risk weight 85% • Qualifying investments in gilt unit trust backed by government of Sri Lanka securities Level 2B assets (maximum of 15% of HQLA) • Qualifying non-financial common equity shares 50% Total value of stock of HQLA 2.6 Total net cash outflows 2.6.1 Total net cash outflows are defined as the total expected cash outflows minus total expected cash inflowsfor the subsequent 30 calendar days. Total expected cash outflows are calculated by multiplying the outstanding balances of various categories or types of liabilities and off-balance sheet commitments by the rates at which they are expected to run off or be drawn down. Total expected cash inflows are calculated by multiplying the outstanding balances of various categories of contractual receivables by the rates at which they are expected to flow in up to an aggregate cap of 75% of the total expected cash outflows. 2.6.2 Banks shall not double count items, i.e., if an asset is included as part of the “stock of HQLA” (i.e. numerator), the associated cash inflows cannot be counted as “cash inflows” (i.e. part of the denominator). 2.7 Appendices The Reporting formats for Rupee Liquidity Requirement (BSD-MF-19-RR) and All

23 [Limited Sharing] SCHEDULE II BASEL III LIQUIDITY STANDARDS ON NET STABLE FUNDING RATIO

24 [Limited Sharing] BASEL III - NET STABLE FUNDING RATIO 1.0 Implementation of Net Stable Funding Ratio 1.1 Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) publication in December 2010 on liquidity, “Basel III: International framework for liquidity risk measurement, standards and monitoring” introduced two minimum standards namely Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) and Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR). 1.2 The objective of NSFR is to reduce funding risk over a longer time horizon by requiring LBs to fund their activities with sufficiently stable sources of funding. 2.0 Net Stable Funding Ratio 2.1 NSFR is defined as the amount of available stable funding relative to the amount of required stable funding. The amount of available and required stable funding are calibrated to reflect the presumed degree of stability of liabilities and liquidity of assets. The computation of NSFR shall be based on the following formula. 2.2 Available Stable Funding Available Stable Funding (ASF) is defined as the portion of capital and liabilities expected to be reliable over the time horizon of one year. ASF factors such as 100%, 90%, 50% and 0% are assigned according to presumed degree of stability of funding. 2.3 Required Stable Funding Required Stable Funding (RSF) is a function of liquidity characteristics and residual maturities of various assets held and those of its off-balance sheet (OBS) exposures. RSF factors such as 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 50%, 65%, 85%, and 100% are assigned to different asset categories accordingly. NSFR = available amount of stable funding *100 required amount of stable funding

25 [Limited Sharing] 2.4 Off-balance Sheet Exposures (OBS) Many potential OBS exposures do not require immediate funding but can lead to significant liquidity drain over a longer time horizon. NSFR assigns RSF factors to various OBS exposures in order to ensure that banks hold stable funding for the portion of OBS exposures that may be expected to require funding within any one-year horizon. 2.5 Definitions on various components including High Quality Liquid Assets of Level 1, Level 2A and Level 2B assets of NSFR mirror those outlined in Schedule I of this Banking Act Determination on Liquidity Coverage Ratio, unless otherwise specified. 2.6 Unencumbered assets under NSFR have the meaning of free of legal, regulatory, contractual or other restrictions on the ability of the bank to liquidate, sell, transfer or assign the asset. 2.7 Encumbered Assets (a) Assets on the balance sheet that are encumbered for one year or more receive a 100% RSF factor. (b) Assets encumbered for a period of between six months and less than one year that would, if unencumbered, receive an RSF factor lower than or equal to 50% receive a 50% RSF factor. (c) Assets encumbered for a period of between six months and less than one year that would, if unencumbered, receive an RSF factor higher than 50% retain that higher RSF factor. (d) Where assets have less than six months remaining in the encumbrance period, those assets may receive the same RSF factor as an equivalent asset that is unencumbered. 3.0 Reporting Formats 3.1 The reporting formats and instruction guidelines for computation of Net Stable Funding Ratio are given as follows: Appendix I: Reporting Formats for Net Stable Funding Ratio Appendix II: Guidelines for computation of Net Stable Funding Ratio
